Relevant areas of interest include: Upper-Extremity Bionics & Manipulation (with an emphasis on prosthetics and orthotics), Invasive Neural Interfaces & Sensory Restoration, Soft Robotics & Smart Materials (for assistance and rehabilitation), Computational Neuromechanics (with an emphasis on neural decoding), Bionic Reconstruction and Tissue-Machine Interfaces, Neuromuscular and Functional Electrical Stimulation (NMES/FES), Biohybrid Systems, and other new and emerging areas in Bionics. Candidates must have a demonstrated track record of high-quality research, as evidenced by highly regarded scholarly publications, and must exhibit strong potential (junior faculty) or an established record (senior faculty) of securing extramural funding.
